I yawned loudly and got out of bed, already dreading the day. Today was the start of my Senior year at my new school, Alicante High. I felt nervous when I went to pick out my outfit. I knew for sure I would be sitting in the bathroom eating my lunch, just as Cady had done from em style="box-sizing: border-box;"Mean Girls/em. But I couldn't let them get close to me. I couldn't let them find out what had happened before I was Clary Fray, and not Clarissa Morgenstern. Images flashed through my mind of my abusive father, and I dropped my hairbrush in alarm. I wanted to forget that part of my life as much as possible. I shook the images out of my head, and put on a smile that could fool the whole school, and most importantly, my mother. I headed downstairs in my first day of school outfit: a graphic tee, ripped jeans, and converse sneakers splattered with appeared to be a mixture of paint and colored marker. I greeted my mother with a "Good morning". She smiled back, and handed me bacon and pancakes, my favorite breakfast. We had our usual morning conversations; when she would get back from work, when Luke would come over, and what we would be having for dinner. Luke was my mom's boyfriend. They have been dating ever since we moved here in June. I was happy my mom had moved on from my father. I cursed myself silently for bringing him up again. After eating my delicious breakfast, I noticed the time. "MOM!" I yelled in alarm. "What?" She responded with a startled expression. "I'm going to be late for school!" "It's alright, I'll drive you"! We ran out to her old SUV, and sped off to school. I got dropped off and sprinted inside. "Hopefully I wouldn't be late" I thought. I don't want to stand out anymore than I have to. I received my schedule from the guidance office, and headed to my first class, AP Chem. Awesome. This was definitely the hardest class I had signed up for, and I had it first. I entered the classroom to find a blonde boy making out with a pretty brunette. Many people were staring, some even taking videos, but I ignored them and sat down at an empty seat. My teacher walked in, and the two broke apart. "Finally" I thought. The teacher glared at them, but then introduced himself. "Hi, Im , It's nice to meet you all and I hope we can have a great year together". His eyes swept over the class and then rested on me. I averted my gaze, but still felt his eyes on me. Why was he looking at me like that? "I will be assigning seats,so don't get too comfortable" he continued. The class groaned. He gave students their seats, and finally he called out my name. "Clary Fray and... Jace Wayland". I sat down next to the boy who was making out with the brunette earlier. His golden eyes met my green ones, and he held out his hand. "Hi, I'm Jace Wayland, your handsome, amazing, partner for the year". I rolled my eyes. This was already off to a great start./p
